Linksys EA4500 Firmware

Hi! I downloaded a new firmware EA Series Linksys Smart Wi-Fi Firmware Ver.2.1.39.144146 (10/31/2012) and I can't find the option that hides my SSID. How to select the channel? Help, please!
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Yes that is normal. I will suggest to select the channel with the less interference and does not overlap with other wireless devices available in the area.

Are you trying to assign a static ipv6 dns on the router? I think it is not possible yet but maybe if they will do an update or if it will be part of the update (if ever) that they will do on the classic firmware. For the EA routers, IPV6 packets are embedded in the IPV4 and the router will convert it using the 6rd tunnel.

Linksys EA4500 Leopard Cisco Cloud compatibility

I am looking for a new router to do video streaming and online conferencing on a Mac. I am looking at the Linksys EA4500 and the Apple AirPort Extreme. I have an HP with a Windows 7 OS connected to cable and a Mac. I have an HP Officejet Pro L7580 printer which is capable of wireless. I also have blueray to connect to this device, netflex, and an android. The OS on the Mac is the Leopard. My Mac OS is the 10.8.1. My HP OS is Windows 7 64 bit.
My concerns:
EA4500:
Requires connection to the Cisco Connect Cloud system - Is that system compatible with the Mac Leopard system and downloable to the Mac. So many programs say they are compatible. But when you download them the computer rejects them. I have read a couple of blogs with those issues. Does anyone have any experience with this router and a Mac?
What are the known issues with the Cisco Cloud system? Is this a third party software?
Apple AirPort:
My concern with this router is that it is compatible not only with the Mac but with the HP - Windows 7 64 bit OS that I have, along with my HP Officejet Pro L7580 printer. I read some blogs people had issues with their printers not working consistently or lag in signal strength. These are issues I have with my present router and it's 5 years old.

The Apple Support Communities are an international user to user technical support forum. As a man from Mexico, Spanish is my native tongue. I do not speak English very well, however, I do write in English with the aid of the Mac OS X spelling and grammar checks. I also live in a culture perhaps very very different from your own. When offering advice in the ASC, my comments are not meant to be anything more than helpful and certainly not to be taken as insults.
If you have OS X 10.8.1, then you have the newest version of OS X, and it is called Mountain Lion. OS X Leopard is an old version of OS X. It was 10.5.x.
A lot of 3rd party developers don't really care if their kit works with Apple products, if it works with Windows that's as far as they go with testing. Apple makes sure that their kit works with their products and with the kit from others.
Unless you have stuff strewn to the far extremes of a really big, multi-storey house (hence the name AirPort Extreme!), the AirPort Express may meet your needs. But the proof is in the pudding, buy it, test it, if it doesn't work, take it back.

Linksys EA4500 findet DSL Modem nicht

Hallo Zusammen,
wenn du denkst " ich kann das, ist ja einfach" Schlägt dir die Technik ein Schnippchen.
Ich habe folgende Harware:
DSL Modem Dlink DSL-321B
Linksys EA4500-EW
Laptop Win7 32 Bit
Das Modem ist konfigueriert und ich kann per Kabel direkt ins Internet.
Der Router wurde mit EasySetup eingerichtet und ich kann die Konfiguration ändern.
Der Assistent findet aber das Modem nicht (mitgeliefertes DSL-Kabel vom Modem an Internetport angeschlossen)
Es wird er Hinweis "Router ist eingerichtet aber... wir können nicht feststellen ob eine Internetverbindung möglich ist" angezeigt.
Meine Versuche manuel zu konfigurieren scheitern mit von kein Internet bis verabschiden des Routers. Auch ein Rest und eine neue Konfiguration bleiben erfolglos.
Jetzt zähle ich auf das Forum um die Kiste ans Netz zu bekommen.
Gruß Markus

Which Router to choose--Linksys ea4500 or Airport Extreme

I originally bought an ea4500 Linksys router. I had some issues that I thought were due to the router. I then purchased an Apple Airport Extreme. I found that the same issues exist and that the problem is probably my computer setup. I now have to return one of the routers.
They both seem to work very well. The setup possibly was easier with the Airport Extreme, but that may be because everything was pretty much set up when I bought it after setting up the network with the Linksys. The Airport Extreme probably would be the choice if I only had Apple computers, but I have 3 Windows PC's (2 Vista PCs and 1 XP) and 2 Mac PCs (Macbook Pro with Lion and Mac G4 with Tiger? --10.4.11). I also have 2 iphones and 2 Kindle Fires.
I have tested putting a hard drive (formatted NTFS) with on the ea4500 and it reads fine. I have not tried to write to it with either the Macs or the PCs. I have not tried the hard drive with the Airport. The Airport is about $30 more than the Linksys. I can't see any real difference in the operation of the 2 routers.
I would like to have any comments/thoughts about which one I should choose (I know that I am probably in a biased community).

I read the features for both routers and like what you mentioned both actually seems to offer the same thing. Both supports simultaneous dual band for the wireless connection and also offers guest networks and you can also connect harddrives to it. It is a tough choice. I would go for the EA4500, trying not to be biased here. One of the reason is that I have received good tech support for the linksys(cisco) products that I have been using and that is one of the main things that I truly appreciate about in a company.

Linksys Router Firmware Upgrade ?

Just got my new iPad on Monday. Been trying to get it to work with my wireless network. Several conversations with At&T and Apple support and it was determined that I needed to upgrade my Linksys, BEFW11S4 Router. Just completed that process. The "code.bin" was very interesting...Still not working. My iPad sees the internet, but does not connect. In reading some of the posts, I don't see any switching from 'g' instead of 'b/g' in my Linksys set up. Don't see the QoS or the WMM setting. Anyone have any ideas. At this point, I'm going to just go buy a new router.

Thanks for you msg.
My IP does begin with a 169. I say that my iPad is seeing the internet because of the wavy lines next to the iPad logo in the upper left hand corner. That's what an Apple Support person told me. I've taken the iPad to an Apple store and it works fine, so I'm confident there is nothing wrong with the iPad unless I've screwed up some setting. I have Renewed the Lease a number of times. I've got an AT&T 2Wire modem/router that I'm debating on installing. It shouldn't be that big of deal, but you never know. Anyway, thinking the new router will have the latest and greatest firmware.

Linksys Router firmwares

I was curious what the new Linksys firmwares are based on?
The E8350 looks like the old fimrware UI you would find in WRT54G Series, is it Linux or VxWorks based?
And what is Linksyssmartwifi bases on? still VxWorks but with a new UI?
Cheers,
Chiftin

Can't speak for all of em... but this sysinfo.cgi output of a WTR1900AC would suggest it's based on Linux

Linksys EA4500 Strict NAT with Xbox One

Hey all,
I just got a Xbox One and I use my wireless router (EA4500) for it. I've used it before on my Xbox 360 and I have had an open NAT but now all I have is strict.
I've done some searching on the web such as port fowarding and what not but no such luck. I was wondering if anyone can help me with my current problem?
Thanks in advance!

Do you know if your router is getting a public IP Address from your ISP? If you are then just enabling UPNP should be enough. Keep in mind that if you have two xbox's then the first one to grab the ports will have open nat.
If you get a private IP Address from your ISP then strict nat is all you will get.
Please remember to Kudo those that help you.

Linksys e4200v2 firmware upgrade fails -bad file

I'm trying to upgrade my frmware to the lastest one (classic firmware)
I've downloaded this file multiple times http://homedownloads.cisco.com/downloads/firmware/1224693043651/FW_E4200_2.0.37.131047.zip
When I try the firmware upgrade (manual upgrade) and select the file, it always complains about the file being corrupt (using the .ssa file in the zip).
How can I solve this issue?
Kind Regards, Jurgen

Hi, I’ve noticed that all smart routers’ classic firmware starting from E4200 v2 to EA4500 contains .ssa as the file extension. So, the moment you load a firmware with that file extension then the router should automatically read it. What you can do is to use other browsers or better yet use another computer just to isolate the problem. If that will not work then try the following:
Download the tftp utility (select version 4)
Disconnect the modem from the router and just have the computer connected to the router's ethernet port
Assign a static ip address on your computer
Lower the speed of the computer's LAN card to 10 half duplex
disable any firewall or anti-virus software on your computer
Run the tftp utiilty

since it seams like you are having an issue with your firmware , you can perform a factory reset by holding in the button in on back of the router for 30 seconds, wait about 2 minutes and try to upgrade to the latest firmware.
Below is a link to help you with the firmware upgrade.

When EA4500 Firmware is going to be released to fix Media Server Limitation?

Hi,
anyone has idea if Linksys if providing a firmware upgrade to fix Twonky Media Server limitation over 8000+ files, which is quite annoying?
Should i return this item?
Anyone can recommend any other Brand which offers this feature without limitations?
Thanks!

Many people have complained for almost 18 months and they haven't changed it so that should tell you something.

Linksys e3000 firmware update FAIL

I am trying to install the latest firmware (downloaded from cisco site) on our E3000.
I downloaded this file from their site....
I am using a Windows 7 Toshiba laptop.
Model name: Linksys E3000
Model number: E3000
Firmware version: 1.0.03 build 2
Operating system: Windows 7 SP 1
Software version: 1.3.11006.1
Connection type (WAN): DHCP
This is the downloaded file I am trying to use
This is the message I get immediately.

To safely update FW, I recommend doing the following:
1. Save router config to file first using IE or FF with all security add-ons disabled.
2. Factory reset the router with all other devices disconnected or turned OFF accept for 1 wired PC.
3. Reload or Update the FW using IE or FF. Just download the FW file to your local wired LAN PC.
4. Factory reset the router and then set up from scratch first and test with out loading the saved config from file.
